PSALM XLVII. Heb. XLVIII.
Magnus Dominus.
God is greatly to be praised for
the establishment of his church.
1 A Psalm of a Canticle, for
the sons of Core, on the
second day of the week.
2 Great is the Lord,
and exceedingly to be
praised; in the city of our
God, in his holy mountain.
3 With the joy of the
whole earth is mount Sion
founded; on the sides of the
north, the city of the great
king.
4 In her houses shall God
be known, when he shall protect
her.
5 For behold the kings of
the earth assembled themselves:
they gathered together.
6 So they saw, and they
wondered, they were troubled,
they were moved:
7 trembling
took hold of them.
There were pains as of a woman
in labour.
8 With a vehement
wind thou shalt break in
pieces the ships of Tharsis.
9 As we have heard, so have
we seen, in the city of the Lord
of hosts, in the city of our God:
God hath founded it forever.
10 We have received thy
mercy, O God: in the midst
of thy temple.
11 According to thy name
-- --
O God, so also is thy praise
unto the ends of the earth:
thy right hand is full of justice.
12 Let mount Sion rejoice,
and the daughters of
Juda be glad; because of thy
judgments, O Lord.
13 Surround Sion, and encompass
her, tell ye in her towers.
14 Set your hearts on her
strength; and distribute her
houses; that ye may relate
it in another generation.
15 For this is God, our
God unto eternity, and for ever
and ever: he shall rule us
for evermore.
